Waterhall is a valley which has been partly filled to make a level surface for playing fields - mainly football pitches, but also good for this individual sport whatever it might be called. That guy is standing on a large skateboard and being pulled along by the kite.

Yesterday we saw the new Amex Stadium (again). American Express is one of the biggest employers in Brighton and they are set to become bigger with the extension of their European HQ. The cranes on the site can be seen in the distance from the Roman Camp.

It has been a while since we posted a panoramic view so here is what we see looking east from 39 Acres. In the far left of the picture is the new Amex Community Stadium (presumably sponsored by American Express) where Brighton & Hove Albion will be playing next season. To the right of that are some of the buildings of the University of Brighton with, below them, a gym and the buildings of the Aldridge Academy, previously Falmer High School and before that, Westlain Secondary School. The hill on the left behind the Amex Stadium is Mount Caburn, which is the far side of Lewes.

It's surprising how often the weather on the far side of the Downs seems different to ours. This photo was taken a couple of days ago when we had a bright blue sky but there was 10/10 cloud cover beyond the Downs.

From the Boss: This tree stands at the junction of four tracks in Stanmer Woods and acts as a sort of landmark. It must be getting old now and it certainly seems to have lost a bit of weight over the years I have been walking dogs round here.

From the Boss: I've found a few more pictures from the farm so we will leave Stanmer for a while. This is Goblin Coombe, a couple of miles from the farm, where mu cousin-in-law winters some of his Hebridean sheep.

From High Park Wood we see that field of rape from the other side. Just a chink of the English Channel in the distance and the buildings to the left are the Whitehawk television transmitter and the grandstand at Brighton racecourse.
